ترجم

Q. 1 تَرْجَمَهُ, (S in art. رجم, and Msb and K in the present art.,) and تَرْجَمَ عَنْهُ, (K,) inf. n. تَرْجَمَةٌ, (KL,) He interpreted it, (S, Msb, KL, K,) or explained it in another language; (S, Msb, KL;) namely, the speech, or language, (S, Msb, K,) of another person: (Msb:) or, as some say, translated it from one language into another: (TA:) and he explained it; namely, his own speech. (Msb.) [This verb is essentially the same in Arabic, Chaldee, and Ethiopic.] b2: تَرْجَمَهُ, inf. n. as above, also signifies He wrote his life; wrote a biography, or biographical notice, of him. (TA, passim; and other works of post-classical times.) b3: Accord. to the K, the ت in this verb is a radical: but see تَرْجُمَانٌ, below.

(TA, passim; and other works of post-classical times.) b3: And An article, a head, chapter, section, or paragraph, of a book. (TA, passim; and other works of post-classical times.) تَرْجُمَانٌ and تُرْجُمَانٌ and تَرْجَمَانٌ, (S in art. رجم, and Msb and K in the present art.,) of which three dial. vars. the first is the best, (Msb,) and is that which commonly obtains, (TA,) An interpreter; (S, Msb, K;) an explainer of speech in another language: (S, Msb:) [a translator: (see the verb, above:)] pl. تَرَاجِمُ and تَرَاجِمَةٌ; which latter favours the opinion of those who hold the word to be of foreign origin. (S, Msb.) The ت and م are [said to be] radicals; but J makes the ت to be augmentative, and ترجمان is mentioned in the T [as well as in the S] in art. رجم, though the author of the T has mentioned the verb among quadriliteral-radical words; and there is a reason [for deriving it from رَجَمَ], for one says لِسَانٌ يَرْجُمُ meaning “ a tongue that is chaste, or perspicuous, and copious, in speech: ”

most, however, hold the ت to be a radical. (Msb.) It is said in the K that the verb shows the ت to be radical; whereas J and AHei and IKt hold it to be augmentative; but there is a difference of opinion whether it be from الرَّجْمُ بِالحِجَارَةِ [the throwing stones], or from الرَّجْمُ بِالغَيْبِ [the conjecturing, or speaking conjecturally]; and also whether it be Arabic, or arabicized from درغمان [a word which I do not know in Persian nor in any other language]: (MF, TA:) if arabicized, the present is its proper place. (TA.) مُتَرْجَمٌ [Interpreted: or translated. b2: And also The subject of a biography, or biographical notice. b3: And] (assumed tropical:) Confused, or dubious. (Har p. 537.)

Q. 1 ثَعْلَبَ He (a man) was cowardly, and eluded, or turned away, or went this way and that, or to the right and left, quickly, and deceitfully, or guilefully; as also ↓ تَثَعْلَبَ: his doing so being thus likened to the running of the ثَعْلَب. (TA.) And ثعلب مِنْهُ فَرَقًا [He was cowardly, and eluded him, or turned away from him, &c., through fear]; i. e., from another man. (TA.) Q. 2 تَثَعْلَبَ: see above.

ثَعْلَبٌ [The fox; canis vulpes of Linn.: but in the dial. of Egypt, the jackal; canis aureus of Linn.: the former animal being there called أَبُو الحُصَيْنِ, as it often is by the Arabs of other countries:] a certain beast of prey; (TA;) well known: (S, K:) applied to the male and the female; so that one says ثَعْلَبٌ ذَكَرٌ and ثَعْلَبٌ

أُنْثَى; but if one would designate the male by a single word applying to it only, he says ↓ ثُعْلُبَانٌ, with damm to the ث and ل: (IAmb, Msb:) or the former applies to the female: (K:) or the female is called ↓ ثَعْلَبَةٌ; (Ks, S, Msb, K;) and the male, ↓ ثُعْلُبَانٌ (Ks, S, K) and ثَعْلَبٌ, (K,) [accord. to some,] like as one says عَقْرَبَةٌ [and عُقْرُبَانٌ] and عَقْرَبٌ: (Msb:) or ثَعْلَبٌ is the male; and the female is called ↓ ثُعَالَةُ: (Az, TA: [but see this word is art. ثعل:]) the pl. of ثعلب is ثَعَالِبُ and ثَعَالٍ, (K,) accord. to Lh: but ISd disapproves of this [latter pl.]; and Sb does not allow it except in poetry. (TA.) F charges J with error in citing, as a proof that ↓ ثُعْلُبَانٌ signifies the male, the following verse: أَرَبٌّ يَبُولُ الثُّعْلُبَانُ بِرَأْسِهِ لَقَدْ ذَلَّ مَنْ بَالَتْ عَلَيْهِ الثَّعَالِبُ

[Is he a Lord, upon whose head the he-fox makes water? (the ب in برأسه being syn. with عَلَى: so in the Mughnee, in art. ب:) Vile indeed is he upon whom the foxes make water!] said by a man who was keeper of an idol, on seeing a he-fox make water upon it: but in this, F opposes also Ks and others; and it is asserted by several authorities that the correct reading of the word ثعلبان in a trad. whereby F attempts to establish his charge against J is not ثَعْلَبَانِ, dual. of ثَعْلَبٌ, as he pronounces it to be, but ثُعْلَبَانِ, which is said to be the masc. of ثَعْلَبٌ, like as أُفْعُوَانٌ and عُقْرُبَانٌ are mascs. of أَفْعًى and عَقْرَبٌ.

(S.) b3: عِنَبُ الثَّعْلَبِ [Fox-grape: rendered by Golius “ uvæ vulpinæ, i. e. solanum: ” but now applied by some to the gooseberry: and the solanum nigrum, or gardennightshade, is now commonly called عِنَبُ الذِّئْبِ:] a certain astringent, cooling plant: seven (or, as in one copy of the K, nine) حَبَّات [which here seems to mean berries] thereof, swallowed, are a cure for the jaundice (اليَرَقَان), and stop pregnancy, (K, TA,) like the berries of the خِرْوَع [or castor-oil-plant], for the year, or, as some say, absolutely. (TA.) A2: A hole, or aperture, (جُحْر,) whence rain-water flows. (TA.)
